demand enough bonuses to build a
road and pppketall the profit A
united effort on the part of the men
who have subscribed the above
amount will build thp road Let
Jliem solicit a bonus from every
person to be benefited by the road

prominent ranch owners Mr
Frank Rabb the people along the
route would gladjy out and haul
sufficient msbcmite ties fur the en

river towns and counties along the
road will donat a big bonus to the
